Dearest,
Compliments of the season
I am the manager United Bank of Egypt(UBE). in my
bank I discovered an abandoned sum $33.3usd(thirty
three million three hundred thousand U.S.dollars only)
in an account that belongs to one of our foreign
customer, by name, Mr. Bob Robert Chapman, African
area director for Wycliffe bible translators
international, who died along with his wife, Ruth
Chapman, in January 2000 in a Kenyan plane crash in
the coast of Abidjan, ivory coast.
Since we got information about his death, we have been
expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his
money because we can not release it unless somebody
applies for it as next of kin or relation to the
deceased as indicated in our banking
guidelines. unfortunately I learnt that his supposed
next of kin died along with him at the
plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim. it is
therefore upon this discovery that I decided to make
business with you and release the money to you as the
next of kin or relation of the deceased for safety and
subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it
and we don't want this money to go into federal
government account as unclaimed bill. the banking law
and the guidelines here stipulates that if such money
remained unclaimed after four years the
money will be transferred into banking treasury as
unclaimed fund.
The request of a foreigner as next of kin in this
business is occasioned by the fact that the customer
was a foreigner and an Egyptian cannot stand as next
of kin for a foreigner. It is agreed that a certain
percentage of this money will be for you as my
foreign partner. there after I will
visit your country for disbursement according to
the percentage agreed.
Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of the fund
to you as arranged. you must apply first to the bank
as a relation or next of kin
of the deceased indicating your bank account number
and location wherein the money will be remitted. upon
receipt of your reply I will send to you the text of
the application.
As soon as you receive this letter, you should contact
me through my e-mail
address,maher_labib1963@123mail.cl
Trusting to hear from you immediately.
Yours faithfully
Maher Labib Abou Steit
General Manager, UBE.
Note: all transactions will be through email as calls
are strictly monitored down hear in the complex
